We filmed an argument involving two people from 3 different perspectives, the first was the master shot which shows both speakers and introduces the audience to them, then we filmed the conversation from a frontal position of each of the characters.
We edited the 3 different shots together starting with the master shot and then going back and forth between the characters like a "game of tennis" but including master shots at appropriate times. We used straight cuts to keep the realistic feel of the argument and tried to recreate the feel of two peoples emotions.
We made 3 final edits with different backing tracks. We used 3 very different music tracks to change the mood and pace of the scene, using both contrapuntal and parallel sound.
The first track we used was an instrumental rap battle beat, this track was used as the scene was an argument and the track was low and carried the conversation along the beat. This track was parallel to the action and it flowed together. However a better track could have been found but we did well with the time we had.
The second track we used was a dub step, which is a popular genre, and it was meant to be contrapuntal because of the varying beat and different tempos the song provided it gave the clip a different flow but was also more jerky. The message of the song went well however with the mood of the scene because it is about two people with one being over obsessive and stalking the other.
The third was a slower song which worked well as it calmed the mood of the argument and gave it a sadder theme but also adds the idea of resolution at the end of the argument because the song is about the future of a couple and them getting through a hard time.
This task could have been improved by a better constructed script and maybe some more seriousness however it did show we understand and can edit sounds using different tracks and also how to edit the diegetic sounds in the clip.
